what is turbo engine

A turbo engine, also known as a turbocharged engine, is an internal combustion engine that uses a turbocharger to increase its power output. A turbocharger is a forced induction device that compresses the intake air by using the energy from the flow of exhaust gases. This compressed air is then forced into the engine, allowing it to burn more fuel and produce more power for a given displacement. Turbo engines are typically added to smaller engines to improve their performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. The turbocharger is composed of a shaft with a turbine wheel on one end and a compressor wheel on the other, which are covered by a snail-shaped housing featuring an inlet port. The wasted exhaust gases enter the inlet port at a high pressure, and as the air passes through the turbine, the turbine spins and the compressor turns with it, drawing in vast quantities of air which are compressed and passed out of the outlet port. The compressed air is then fed back into the cylinders via an intercooler, which cools the air before it reaches the cylinders. Turbo engines run at high speeds, up to 250,000 RPM, and typically have an oil cooling system to prevent overheating.
